And a key Group Booze Jd Vance as he tries to rewrite trumps labor record. Joining me live, lets do it. When 87yearold Lydia Martinez woke up before 6 a. M. To a sound of a knock on her door last week, she assumed it was perhaps a neighbor who needed milk or eggs. But, to her surprise, it wasnt a neighbor. Rather, nine officers.

At one point they even had the greatgrandmother stand outside in her nightgown. According to their warrants, officers were looking for records including applications for ballot by mail, a list of voter banks, and documents about elected officials and candidates.
